In this video we will derive the expressions for the specific heats at constant volume and constant pressure from the combined first and second law of thermodynamics (video [1] below).
The expressions become simpler when we assume a thermally perfect gas, where the energy and enthalpy are only a function of temperature (video [2] below).

This is the fourth video in my 10-video series on coding a program in MATLAB to compute, display, and save a NACA 4-digit airfoil.
IN THIS VIDEO:
We code the airfoil type callback. This edit text box reads in the string of the airfoil that the user wants to compute and plot. After we read in the value of the airfoil, we check to make sure that it is only four digits. If more or less, it displays an error message and makes sure the airfoil cant be plotted.

What are flap track fairings and what purpose do they serve on an airplane? These canoe-shaped pieces house linkages and mechanisms that connect the flaps to the wing. As an added bonus (if designed correctly), they can help decrease the wave drag by something known as area-ruling.
